Principles of the Yoga Practice

1- Foundation of the Base

Like in any other structure, yoga poses must be built from the ground up.

2- Press & Rebound

Occurs by pressing down through the foundation of the base in order to raise an equal amount of energy upwards.

3- Law of Compensation

Activate resistance to work tighter muscles and compensate for the tendency to bend only where the body is naturally flexible.

4- Dual Action

Occurs by deliberately applying energy in opposite directions in order to overcome the Law of Compensation.

These are key alignment techniques that can be applied to every single pose regardless of the style. Our intention is to correctly teach students each posture, bringing safety to the forefront, and honoring the heart of Yoga, Ahimsa: Do no harm.
